• Public Works

Vancouver, Wash. – Recent rain and snow has triggered a road washout on Northwest Pacific Highway northwest of La Center.

Clark County Public Works closed the road at Northwest Wellman Avenue Tuesday afternoon. Water can be seen rushing underneath a portion of the road through an opening in the asphalt.

This will be a long-term closure since the road will require extensive rebuilding before it can reopen to traffic. It may take weeks before engineers and geotechnical experts can fully assess the situation.

Vancouver, Wash. – The Clark County Treasurer’s Office announced a planned delay in the release of property tax statements this year. In the past, they were mailed out in mid-February. This year, they are expected to be mailed on Monday, March 4, 2019.

Clark County is changing to a new financial system called Workday, which is causing the delayed release of this year’s property tax statements.
